Aspen Ridge shares the OHBA honours with its esteemed design team. An architectural masterpiece, 77 Charles is the creation of HOK’s Yann Weymouth, the chief design architect for I.M. PEI’s Grand Louvre Museum in Paris. The exterior of 77 Charles features a fascinating interplay of light and glass, and holds its own in an area of architectural gems. When viewed from Bloor Street, the building resembles a crown at the top of Thomas Street.
